I don't know why, but for me patterning bipedal characters is incredibly difficult. Quadruped patterns I barely have to prototype anymore, but two legged things give me trouble >.< So I guess it's good to get some practice As it turns out, Charmander's head was the most difficult thing to get right. I must've made about six prototypes before I was happy

Anyway, both Charmander and his pumpkin are made of minky fabric (the pumpkin is made from one of Shannon's latest colours - Pumpkin XD) and Charmander's hat and claws are made of suedecloth. Both their faces are machine embroidered, and I took the opportunity to try embroidering a mouth for the first time - I'm pretty happy with the results
